For the Anzack family: I can't imagine the horror or the sorrow in realizing that your son is gone. My heart breaks for him and for you.
BAGHDAD - A body recovered by Iraqi police from the Euphrates River south of Baghdad was identified as one of three American Soldiers abducted in an ambush claimed by al-Qaida, the military said Thursday.
Military officials told the family of Pfc. Joseph Anzack Jr. that a commanding officer identified the remains recovered from the river, but that DNA tests were still pending.
"They told us, 'We're sorry to inform you the body we found has been identified as Joe,'" the Soldier's aunt, Debbie Anzack, said Wednesday. "I'm in disbelief."
Anzack, 20, vanished along with the two others after their combat team was ambushed May 12 about 20 miles outside Baghdad. Five others, including an Iraqi, were killed in the ambush, subsequently claimed by al-Qaida.

I just saw this on the news and had to cut it off because it's so heartbreaking. I couldn't imagine losing a child especially like that. It's devastating for me to hear about this, I cannot comprehend what the family is going through. They're in my prayers along with every other soldier and their families.
Hugs, Angie
I haven't even watched the news since being on my little vacation, but I guess the bad stuff happens anyway. Sad.
